1. Learning about viewpoints this week was a great experience and also very fun. I like the fact that I can just be free and make a complete fool of myself without being judged. The exercise we did in class when we had to perform a story with our movements and random props while listening to music, was a bit challenging at first. I was with the second group so therefore I got to sit down and watch first and I could not believe my eyes. My peers were doing such a great job, I felt as though I would not be able to do that or be interesting like them. It was so amazing to watch a them tell a story and react on impulses. When it was my turn to do it, it started off pretty silly, but then I started having a great time. First, I simply did my own thing then I started paying attention to everyone and reacted to the stuff they did and before I knew it we were all telling a story.
2. A moment that felt alive for me was when Austin put on the mask; everyone reacted immediately and he was like the outcast of the group. That told a great story because it was like he wanted to fit in but being that he had on a mask, he couldn't. That was so interesting to watch and it seemed so real as if it were rehearsed. It better to watch viewpoints being done when everyone is responding to each other as oppose to just doing their own thing because that's boring to watch.
3. I think one of the activities we did with Addie was very forced; when we had to form a circle, cluster, and line without talking or having a leader. I did not like that exercise at all because it felt so forced and not natural at all. We were all staring at each other to see who would start the circle or line, we couldn't even enjoy ourselves because we were so busy worrying about forming these shapes. I definitely think we need to practice that one more.
